Cocktail Mondays: Strawberry Testarosa

In NZ we're coming into Berry Season so I'm going to feature another long-standing drink this week, the Strawberry Testarosa.

Again, its pretty simple to make and super tasty, and you could easily replace the strawberrries with blueberries, blackberries or any kind of berries at the market. We use tequila, but you can also do a nice, smokey Mezcal version (see below) which would be great for summer evenings.

STRAWBERRY TESTAROSA

Ingredients:

• 30ml Tequila
• 20ml Agave Honey (or any store bought Honey)
• 20ml Lemon Juice
• 15ml Stawberry Liqueur (we use Monin Brand)
• Fresh Stawberries x3

Method:

1. Chill a cocktail glass
2. Muddle (crush) the strawberries in a boston glass
3. Add all other ingredients
4. Fill to brim with ice
5. Shake
6. Double Strain (through a tea strainer) into the empty cocktail glass
7. Garnish with a strawberry on the side of the glass or on a skewer
